CANUTEC gets a toll-free number!

CANUTEC gets a toll-free number!

CANUTEC, Transport Canada’s emergency centre for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG), now has a toll-free phone number. As of today, Emergency assistance can be sought by dialing 1-888-CAN-UTEC (226-8832) from anywhere in Canada and the United-States.

Calling 1-888-CAN-UTEC will put you in touch with CANUTEC’s Emergency Response Advisors which are able to provide pertinent and timely advice on how to handle dangerous goods emergencies and can quickly reach out to a vast network of resources for more information and support.

Our hope is that the new number, being easier to remember, will make CANUTEC more reachable. In this spirit, the toll-free number does not replace our other numbers. CANUTEC’s current emergency numbers (613-996-6666, as well as *666 from a cell phone in Canada) are still operational and CANUTEC will continue to accept collect calls.
